Default Utility to burn in new hard drive?

Don Freeman writes:

The theory being that burning it in will reveal faults (that won't show up
until used a bit) in areas that can then be locked away from use. Or, if a
significant number, trigger the return of the drive to the vendor.


Vendors have already done that. Prompt failures after their testing
are rare.
